This might be improving the optimisation factor of steel, reducing the thickness of concrete slabs, or balancing insulation thicknesses of walls, floors and roofs with operational energy savings.
Interdisciplinary approaches in prison design.Professor Yvonne Jewkes brings a multifaceted approach to prison design, combining her expertise in criminology with architectural principles.
Her career has evolved from focusing on media's societal impacts to influencing prison architecture worldwide.This interdisciplinary approach highlights the necessity of integrating behavioural science with architectural knowledge to design correctional facilities that are both secure and conducive to rehabilitation.. 2.Impact of architectural choices on prison dynamics.
The podcast episode discusses how specific architectural decisions in prisons, such as the introduction of in-cell televisions, have helped reduce communal tensions and violence.This reflects a broader theme that the physical design of prisons can greatly influence the behaviour of inmates and the overall management of these facilities.
By understanding the interplay between space and behaviour, architects can create environments that enhance safety and promote order.. 3.
Principles of rehabilitation in prison facilities.Faced with a range of issues from slow technological adoption and poor productivity, to a serious level of major incidents and accidents, the construction ecosystem has long been in need of a major transformation.
At Bryden Wood we’ve found that some of the greatest successes and quickest changes come from cross-fertilising ideas from one sector to another, disrupting a long-standing model with a better way of working.With a background spanning industries like agriculture, engineering and healthcare, as well as work as part of the Technology Strategy Board of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), Sully says it’s the significant breadth of her previous experience that makes her so well suited to her current work with the Hub.. Now entering its fourth year in operation, the purpose of the Construction Innovation Hub is to act as a catalyst to support the industry, working with both the UK government and supply chain, in order to establish how we can facilitate more effective delivery of our built environment.
Working with manufacturing and digital processes in its quest to support progression around productivity and efficiency, the Hub focuses on safety, meeting and exceeding existing standards, and looking toward future approaches.The Construction Innovation Hub works with over 200 companies in various ways across a range of projects, and collaborates with government partners, including all of the contracting departments.
